i talk to Jimmy White , Jimmy Michie , Stuart Bingham , KenDoherty and their managers .. they all agree that this 6 reds snooker game will help the asian snooker grow ..

For my own opinion , this 6 red snooker is surely more fun / fast / interesting to play and watch on t.v then 9 ball pool . coz it doesn’t require too much luck to win as like 9 ball pool . it only requires skill of snooker and patient . all u need from the start of the game is to just score 5 reds and 5 blacks to clinch a frame .. its just 10 shots !

Watching Jimmy White , Peter Ebdon , Ken Doherty , Nigel Bond , James Wattana , Mark Selby play this 6 reds snooker in live is so interesting .. u can see that they all get pressure from the start of 1st frame till the end of the game . Their standard of snooker is so high that all they need is just 1 chance to clinch a frame .. so do the thailand players . there was a lot of maximum break attempt ( 75points) by all the players . i actually got to record one of it , by Issara Kanttawong of Thailand . but he miss on the blue due to he was chasing for the fastest time .
There were 5 maximum break in the tournament and the highest break goes to the fastest clearance , by Salleh muhhamed of Pakistan with the time of 2min 54 sec.

also , Keith E Boon Aun of Singapore beat Jimmy White 5-3 in the last 32 match . Keith played very well . he show us that anyone can win in this new born game of snooker .

Moh Keen Hoo of Malaysia and Stephen Lee of England was absent for this tournament ….
